STEP #1: Learn Solidity

Solidity is a higher-level coding language used for implementing smart contracts. It is the only officially supported language, and it is most similar to JavaScript. You would use Solidity to write applications that simulate financial situations such as a lottery or a loan, which are then used to test out the smart contracts you’ve programmed.

DApp is an abbreviated form for decentralized application. A decentralized application is an application that is run by many users on a decentralized network with trustless protocols. They are designed to avoid any single point of failure. They typically have tokens to reward users for providing computing power. Knowing how to build an app is standard fare for Ethereum developers.

Whenever a new application for blockchain technology and smart contracts is developed on top of Ethereum, a new Ethereum token can be created. The simplifying aspect of this process is that Ethereum has set standards for tokenization. Different types of applications will be tokenized according to different standards, depending on what the application is meant to do.
